Annnnnd the battle is on: Claim denied

Welp, here it is. To no surprise of my own, my claim for sterilization coverage was denied by BCBS, bill adds up to $2038. Now begins the appeal process and likely several communications with the billing and coding departments of the hospital.

Perhaps even less shocking is that they claim it isn’t covered after a conversation with one of their reps months ago who confirmed the procedure was covered. Same billing code they confirmed is the same one they denied.

Don’cha just love late stage capitalism?

Anyway! If any of you have tips, resources, or other things you think might help me through this process, I would love to hear them. Wish me luck.
